Study: Third-Hand Smoke Exposure As Deadly As Smoking

[Jake6731]

This is just unbelievable!
Guess I might as well go back to smoking.

The amount of just bad science that gets published in the main stream media is absolutely amazing to me.
And the scare mongering headlines are too much to believe. I find it incredulous that someone at this broadcaster could allow such a headline to be published.

I had to read the article to see what third hand smoke was. I guess that is why I have never had mice or roaches in the house. They are all dead from my third hand smoke. When they come back I guess I'll start smoking again.

Just another government financed "study" from the Left Coast.

So if smoking residue rubs off on a passerby and is re-deposited elsewhere, is that now fourth-hand smoke ?

Where does it end ?

I think dee5 said it best when the question of
what is 4th hand smoke? ... came up in a previous discussion

Person sitting next to smoker in a bar directly breathing
the smoke ... 2nd hand smoke

The late night clean up person wiping down the bar
gets "third" hand smoke on her hands ... 3rd hand smoke

Clean up person makes his/her spouse suck their fingers clean
when they get home later that night ... "fourth hand smoke" !! TaDa!

Concept of thirdhand smoke = excellent strategy to make smokers "untouchables," the ultimate alienation.

TodAys headlines read 3rd hand smoke and .... caffeine. Yep, dr. Oz is attacking coffee. (Too many people declaring nicotine no more addictive than caffeine).
Surely this will get the sleepers who believe everything the media relays to wake up. Surely it will. Let's hope so anyway.

For a debunking of this latest agenda-driven, trash “study” on “thirdhand smoke”, see

Evidently these researchers, unlike the rest of us, don't bathe or shower, or clean their homes or workplaces. Imagine, letting all that smokey residue accumulate on surfaces for years and years! I for one plan to stay a good distance away from wherever that study was conducted!

Ewwwwww, that would also explain the SE carto "study" by prueBot & Slantzz

A commenter on Dr. Siegel's blog or was it in one of the articles?, about this 3rd hand rubbish, mentioned how Riverside is the belly of the worst air pollution in ca.
AIRNow
No wonder Riverside is paid to do anti-people research.

I'm more upset about the subliminal hate crime message the junk science promotes..... stay away from all smokers, they are killing you & your grandkids. At least they don't call us "diseased" yet eh. But, I'm sure the bricks will be flying through windows shortly enough as it is.

On a good note, I love love love how Pearl ends his article!!

Might just as well ban humidifiers, and tea kettles as well. Don't know what might be in the water!!!!

Egads!, those are even worse, especially if towns people's are using florinated tap water. Have you ever seen the vapor steam coming off a restaurants dishwasher? Crazy massive steam, even from our own homey dishwashers. Don't open the door! Flouride is deadly to brain cells. The dumbing down of Not only America, but globally, is real. Soon we will all be cyborgs, playing the hunger games. Eat another processed food with nano chips and you'll never see the light til they flip the switch. (No, this is not over the top. It's documented).

 

[navigator2011]

This is all just a bunch of ridiculousness that will only embolden nonsmokers to attack smokers for smelling carcinogenic. If any of these boneheads were capable of 'seeing' the smoke particulate on a surface, they would first have to wade through a sea of the deadly bacteria that sits on essentially every surface we encounter.

 

[rothenbj]

The contention of this drivel is that THS is as bad as smoking and there is no half life. In fact they are claiming that THS gets worse over time. Basing future SG Reports on such claims, only people living on a no smoking island their entire lives are safe from the ravages of smoking and practically every death is smoking related. Many of the homes in existence today will need to be demolished which will contaminate the ground where the home was built. We know even the current president contaminated the White House and every landmark in the US is now a potential superfund site. Indeed, this study will end life as we know it.

The good news is that almost everyone will move out of the category of never smoker since nearly everyone is infected.

But we should always pass 600 page legislative bills without letting representatives or their constituents read it so we can see what's in the bill

Simple... it does not, it seems...

Be advised this study will be used by the anti's. The relevance or validity will not be questioned. Just crank out an anti study and it is fact. What other "bad things" are on surfaces? Oh that's right the NORA virus. Scuttled a cruise a few weeks ago by infecting the passengers. That is why we have immune systems. The world is a dirty place.
